I cannot say what I'm making, but I CAN give a massive shout out to my INGREDIENT SPONSORS!
Keeping it local goes more than saying the words. I wanted to use this opportunity to showcase not only what I do, but the amazing small businesses that give me the ability to have amazing ingredients to work with. Just like an artist, I cannot paint an amazing piece if I don't have paint!
From an over 100 year old orchard, to a buisness who had connections to other businesses in Indiana Grown and helped me make phones calls and resources- these people are the backbone to what makes my dishes just so incredibly special π AND EVERYTHING IS FROM INDIANA AND A SMALL BUSINESS- HUZZAH!
- Hainlen Orchard (Converse, IN)
- Ervin Township Meats (Kokomo, IN)
- Half Moon Restaurant and Brewery (Kokomo, IN)
- Rockn B Ranch at The Ponderosa (Indianapolis, IN)
- Popcorn Cafe (Kokomo, IN)
And the TWO businesses that I honestly would not have even have made it to the World Food Championships without-
- A Couple Kids Family Farm (Kokomo, IN)
- Moon Drops Distillery (Fortville, IN)
I will post exactly how these buisnesses were used once I can, but for now I want to make sure they know how much they are truly appreciated π We all be small, but together we can and will do amazing things!
Bonus picture of life as a lil guy trying to support everything World Food Championships- It's hard work and no..... He absolutely was NOT sleeping or even tired π€£
